Voters in Kuwait chose to shake up their parliament and sent two women to the assembly in the Gulf Arab nation's second election in less than two years, according to results released Friday.
The results, which will bring 27 new members to the 50-member assembly, were seen as a vote for change amid a prolonged period of gridlock between the Cabinet, which is appointed by the royal family, and the 50-member assembly, which is democratically elected and more independent than similar bodies across the region.
